Today I am bringing you a quick and easy DIY project to store your knitting needles. This project will make you happy to store your needles anywhere in the house, giving you both easy access and a sense of style.
What you will need: 1 empty cardboard canister, such as an oatmeal or coffee
canister
Old book pages or scrapbook paper, torn
Modge Podge or other water-based sealer
Foam brush
Although Modge Podge is water-based and easy to clean with soap and water, I recommend covering your work space for even easier clean up. I like silicone sheets as they are easy to clean and reusable; you can find them in the baking aisle or in craft stores.
Cover a small area of your container with the sealer and place a piece of the torn book page or paper on the area, smooth with your finger to help eliminate air bubbles; cover that piece with sealer. Continue in this fashion, overlapping the pieces of paper as you go, until the container is covered.
When you are finished, paint the entire container with a thin coat of the sealer. Let dry. Tah-dah! You now have a beautiful new way to store your knitting needles. Find a shorter container and the same could be done for storing crochet hooks.
